About this study

Using mixed methods and triangulating multiples sources of data collected over the course of the parent (CTN-0079 - NCT03544112) and the ancillary studies to evaluate the feasibility, acceptability, sustainability and impact of the emergency department (ED)-initiated Buprenorphine (BUP) clinical program and implementation facilitation strategy and identify factors influencing diffusion and effectiveness.

Read the detailed description

The ancillary study will use mixed-methods combining quantitative and qualitative inquiry (interview/focus group and field notes) with administrative and health record data with some analyses including data collected from the parent CTN-0079 (NCT03544112) study. Further, qualitative data will be analyzed in the context of themes derived from CTN-0069 (NCT03023930) and CTN-0079. CTN-0079-A1 is planned to be conducted at two of the three sites of the parent study: (1) Catholic Medical Center, Manchester, New Hampshire; (2) Bellevue/NYU Health and Hospitals, New York, NY. Many of the methods, operating procedures, measures and forms will be retained or adapted from the parent study. However, CTN-0079-A1 is a new study in which lessons learned through the parent study have informed important design modifications necessary to improve study rigor and utility.

As in the parent study, CTN-0079, all clinical care (BUP and referral) will be delivered as part of each facility's clinical protocol, rather than as a research procedure. Implementation Facilitation (IF) activities will continue during ancillary trial preparation with a more intensive booster of IF activities occurring in the last month prior to trial commencement. Thereafter, all study IF support will cease and ancillary study data collection will begin. Data collection will occur over a course of approximately 12 months, divided into two 6-month study periods - the Post-IF and Maintenance Periods. A period of at least 6 months should separate the beginning of the Maintenance Period from the time of last study intervention.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Clinical program implementationBehavioural

    Using mixed methods and triangulating multiple sources of data collected over the course of parent and ancillary studies to evaluate the feasibility, acceptability, sustainability, and impact of the ED-initiated BUP clinical program and implementation facilitation strategy and identify factors influencing diffusion and effectiveness. Converging provider and patient perspectives and field notes with process measures and intervention outcomes, including proportions screened, treated, and engaged in treatment, will provide explanation to contextualize and better understand feasibility, acceptability, and factors associated with the rate with which the ED-initiated BUP innovation is adopted and how well it is sustained.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Percent of Participants Who Received Emergency Department (ED)-Initiated/Expedited Buprenorphine (BUP)

    The outcome will be calculated using the following formula: [(Candidates who receive ED-initiated BUP with any disposition) + (Candidates who receive ED-expedited BUP and who are discharged)] / [(Candidates who are discharged) + (Candidates who receive ED-initiated BUP that are not discharged)].

    Measured: Up to Month 12

  2. Percent of Participants Who Received ED-Initiated/Expedited BUP Who Were Confirmed to be Engaged in Formal Addiction Treatment for Opioid Use Disorder (OUD) on the 30th Day Following Discharge

    The outcome will be calculated using the following formula: (participants who are confirmed to be engaged in formal addiction treatment for Opioid Use Disorder (OUD) on the 30th day following discharge / total number of participants who received ED-initiated/expedited BUP).

    Measured: Day 30 Post-Discharge (Up to Month 12)

Secondary outcomes (6)
  1. Percent of Discharged Participants Who Received ED-Initiated BUP

    The outcome will be calculated using the following formula: [(ED-initiated, discharged) + (ED-expedited, discharged)] / All candidates who were discharged

    Measured: Up to Month 12

  2. Percent of Not-Admitted Participants Who Received ED-Initiated BUP

    The outcome will be calculated using the following formula: (ED-initiated, not admitted) /All candidates who were not admitted

    Measured: Up to Month 12

  3. Percent of Participants Who Received ED-Initiated BUP

    The outcome will be calculated using the following formula: (ED-initiated, all) / [All discharged candidates + (ED-initiated, not discharged)]

    Measured: Up to Month 12

  4. Percent of Participants Who Received ED-Initiated/Expedited BUP

    The outcome will be calculated using the following formula: (ED-initiated/expedited, all) / [All discharged candidates + (ED-initiated/expedited, not discharged)]

    Measured: Up to Month 12

  5. Change in Number of Days of Opioid and/or Other Drug Use as Assessed by Timeline Followback (TLFB) Assessment

    The TLFB assessment will elicit the participant's self-reported use of illicit substances over the previous 7 days. At the Day 30 follow-up visit the assessment period will be the 7 days preceding the Day 30 post index ED visit.

    Measured: Baseline, Day 30

  6. Change in Number of Self-Reported Opioid-Related Overdose Events

    Participants will be asked to report the number of opioid-related overdose events experienced in the past 30 days through a self-report form.

    Measured: Baseline, Day 30

What does the primary outcome measure?

Percent of Participants Who Received Emergency Department (ED)-Initiated/Expedited Buprenorphine (BUP) (time frame: Up to Month 12). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?
